The plot thickens, Claire Mitchell accused Sturgeon of destroying Covid Inquiry evidence? They were Chums before she was given the Inquiry job by Aamer Anwar? Aamer Anwar given the lucrative post by Sturgeons Govt! Stinks of conflict and needs Law Society to investigate. Claire avoided questioning Surgeon. @scotgov @Lawscot

'almost £68billion of public money is entrusted to people who somehow didn’t notice their own chief executive stealing for over 12 years'
The SNP have corrupted devolution.

@PeteWishart Facts are best established & exposed in court under oath. You stick to your cosy wee committees - leave the grown up stuff to me and my formidable legal team. Watch from the public gallery whilst I haul your ex and current colleagues in front of a judge. Actions have consequences

Well done Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Gary Neville has officially become the very thing he loves lecturing everyone about: a middle-aged white man causing division.

And he picks the perfect moment, right as the World Cup kicks off, to cry about Trump enforcing US borders.

A Somali referee failed strict vetting (terror links flagged, Somalia’s security red flags) and Neville’s out here doing the tired Statue of Liberty routine. 🥱

Forever lecturing the rest of us. What a f*cking hypocrite.

If you’re that upset about America controlling who enters their country, don’t f*cking go.

Shut the f*ck up and stick to football 👍

Prosecutors face questions over why a plea deal with Peter Murrell was needed given the weight of evidence against him.

Here’s the problem. The liberal political class wants us to treat atrocities like Belfast as single, random, isolated incidents. “Yes, it’s horrific, but don’t overreact,” they say. “Let the police do their job. Justice will be delivered. Let’s remain united,” and so on.

But the public can see that such incidents *aren’t* random or isolated. They are, in fact, all the consequence of massive state failure in the area of asylum and immigration. All roads lead back there.

That’s why people are angry.. They are sick of the platitudes that get trotted out after each fresh incident. They don’t want to hear them anymore. They know that the decisions of establishment politicians have brought us to this current pass, and they don’t trust those same politicians to fix things, especially when some of them refuse to even recognise that the public’s anger is justified.

There has been a huge vibe shift in recent years. Imagine - God forbid - there were another 7/7. Does anyone think the public response would be anything like as restrained as it was then? We are in really dangerous territory.

The public don’t want flowers and candles and “Don’t let them divide us.” They want someone who says, “I recognise that the state has failed abjectly. We have allowed far too many people to settle in the country without knowing who they truly are. It has disrupted your communities. Your anger is justified. And I will do everything in my power to put things right.”

Any politician unwilling to articulate that message, fully and sincerely, is effectively sanctioning more years of growing social disharmony and discord. Things cannot heal until those in power recognise the extent of the problem and what it will take to fix it. And, on both counts, most of them don’t.

That’s why the next few years are going to be very, very turbulent.

Scotland was asked to vote while the biggest corruption scandal in SNP history was still being kept from full public scrutiny.

The stench around this party just gets worse.

[Agent P @AgentP22]

Peter Murrell qualified for legal aid while owning a villa in the Algarve worth potentially hundreds of thousands of pounds.

A simple question:

How did a man with a holiday home abroad end up getting taxpayers to help fund his defence?

If Peter Murrell accepted £50,000 in exchange for political favours, then Police Scotland must investigate.

The public deserve answers on who paid it, what was promised, and who knew.

Anything less would raise serious questions.

[Brian Spurrell @BrianSpanner1]

There are only two things in play with regard to the Sturgeon-Murrell affair.

The SNP inner circle are either so incredibly stupid they genuinely couldn’t see wholesale fraud occurring over a decade or they knew and the price of their silence was patronage from Queen Nicola.

🧵Things I now believe to be true.

Scotland has not just watched a party finance scandal. It has watched the state, the party machine and the prosecution system close ranks in real time.

The public were expected to notice nothing.

Unfortunately for them, we did.

@AgentP22 Wendy Alexander resigned over £950.

Henry McLeish resigned over £36,000.

David McLetchie resigned over £11,500.

Why isn’t John Swinney resigning over £600,000 and counting?

[Cllr Todd Ferguson @ToddFergusonNAA]

John Swinney in 2001 on Henry McLeish £9,000 expenses scandal:

"You have got to be able to trust the First Minister."

Once it escalated to £36k+ Swinney said:

"People around Scotland will be staggered by the amount of money that is involved.

For the good of the Scottish parliament as a whole and the office of first minister, Mr McLeish should now resign his position."

John Swinney in 2026 on the SNP's £660,000 fundraising scandal:

"Nothing to see here, folks."

🚨 BOOM! Nick Ferrari just put Deputy PM David Lammy on the ropes LIVE on LBC! 🔥

“Would you take the knee for Henry Nowak?”

Lammy instantly flustered, stuttering like he’s been caught red-handed:

“Uhh… well I, look, I, I, I, I think… to honour what’s that family…”

Ferrari cuts through the waffle:

“It’s a yes or no, Mr Lammy. Would you take the knee for Henry Nowak?”

Lammy, clearly squirming:

“I think… no. Because, look, I don’t think the family are asking for symbolism. They’re asking for genuine common sense policing and a reduction in knife crime.”

Ferrari pounces:

“So you agree, taking the knee is mere symbolism? It was a bit of a charade at times?”

Lammy’s brain completely melts:

“That was a moment back then when we were still in the pandemic. This is today. This is this particular incident in our country that’s heart-rending.”

The pandemic?! What the actual f*ck has COVID got to do with it? 😂 His head had totally gone. Nick Ferrari absolutely broke him on air.

This is the same David Lammy who was one of the biggest cheerleaders for BLM, repeatedly defended taking the knee, slammed anyone who questioned it, and pushed the George Floyd narrative hard, yet suddenly it’s all “symbolism” and excuses when it’s a young British lad stabbed to death.

Well done, Nick Ferrari 👏 You exposed the hypocrisy and double standards for everyone to see. No wonder people are furious.

Dear @uartlach I write as an academic and political commentator with a longstanding interest in SNP financial accountability, author of 'Scotland Undone'. The following questions arise purely from the public record, and I would welcome your clarification.

In October 2020 you stated the indyref2 fund held £593,501, earmarked for the referendum and ready to deploy at a moment's notice. Your successor Douglas Chapman resigned months later stating he could not access the financial information required to carry out his legal duties as National Treasurer.
You returned to the role. Within weeks, the fund you had described as referendum-ready was being characterised as having been spent on "independence related campaigning."
With that sequence in mind:

1. When you returned as National Treasurer in May 2021, did you have access to the party accounts that Douglas Chapman stated he had been denied?
2. If so, at what point did you become aware that the £593,501 you described as ready to deploy in October 2020 had been spent — and on what?
3. Your June 2021 statement referred to funds spent on "independence related campaigning." Can you identify specifically what expenditure that describes, and when it occurred?
4. Douglas Chapman resigned citing statutory obstruction. You returned to a role he found untenable. What had changed?

I appreciate your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Dean MacKinnon Thomson
